Apple watch in India: 12 things you need to know

To suit your taste, you can choose from different colour fluroelastomer bands, leather, loop and link bracelets. Practically, there is no difference in how the two sizes (38 and 42mm) operate – it’s a matter of preference.Hitesh Raj Bhagat | ET Bureau | November 07, 2015, 09:53 IST

1. There are three editions and two sizes. To suit your taste, you can choose from different colour fluroelastomer bands, leather, loop and link bracelets. Practically, there is no difference in how the two sizes (38 and 42mm) operate – it’s a matter of preference.

3. Thanks to amoled technology, the screen blends into the case and offers the richest blacks. The 38mm version has a 1.34-inch display (272 x 340 pixels; 326ppi) while the 42mm version has a 1.54-inch display (312 x 390 pixels; 326ppi).

4. Each Watch needs to be paired with an iPhone to work – It works with iPhone 5 and newer, running iOS 8.2 or newer. The preloaded Watch app helps you pair with and setup the Watch.

5. The Watch is a great activity tracker – not just because it tracks your steps (all activity trackers do that) – but because it can track what type of activity you’re doing – such as exercise and stairs

6. Yes, you can make or receive phone calls on the Watch – as long as it’s paired with a phone. It has a built in microphone and speaker and you can hand-off calls to the phone when you need to.

7. The bands can be easily swapped out in a minute, thanks to a strap release button on the underside. Even the link bracelet can be adjusted for size without having to go to a watch shop or jeweller

8. The control scheme is touch plus a side button and the digital crown (which you can rotate and click). There are also a couple of gestures: swipe down for notifications, up for glances.

9. The taptic engine can deliver different types of vibration to your wrist for different alerts and notifications – these range from a light tap to a nudge or long vibration.

10. Inside, there is an accelerometer, gyroscope, heart rate sensor, Bluetooth, WiFi and memory storage. It doesn’t have GPS, but it can pull GPS information from the connected phone.

11. You should typically expect to charge it every night – the relatively small battery and multiple functions mean that it will be out or juice in about 12 to 14 hours.

“A divorce could reshape the global wealth ranking. If the couple split their fortune equally, it could leave wife MacKenzie with $69 billion, making her world’s richest woman. It could also make Microsoft's Bill Gates the planet’s richest person once again,” reported Bloomberg. Amazon founder Bezos was dating Lauren Sanchez, a 49-year-old ex-news anchor.
